Categorize references — this tool enables you to sort and evaluate information in your answer sets by creating a histogram for easy analysis. Categorize separates related references on the basis of their associated CA index terms. With categorize, you can reassemble the different subsets in unique ways creating opportunities for new insights.

Save answers — now you can save answer lists of references, substances, or reactions and re-use them later in other SciFinder Scholar sessions.

Combine answer sets — the combine tool makes it possible to focus on a particular research topic in new ways by combining the substances, reactions, and references in an active answer set with those in a previously saved one. By employing various options of Combine, Intersect, or Remove, you can manipulate and customize the information contained in these combined answer sets.

Explore from substance displays — become more productive by using a substance record display to launch a new search or refine a previous one.

Print structures in grid format — gain a unique comparative view of multiple chemical structures by printing them side by side in this handy grid arrangement.

Please note: If you depend upon Discovery StudioTM Visualizer, third-party software from Accelrys, to view structures in 3D, please be advised that only DS Visualizer versions 1.5 or earlier work with SciFinder Scholar 2007. Installing DS Visualizer 1.7, the current version available from the Accelrys web site, will cause 3D viewing to stop functioning with SciFinder Scholar 2007. To remedy any dysfunction with DS Visualizer 1.7: please install the ViewerLite software and the ViewerLite patch from the myCAS site or use an earlier version.

The American Chemical Society designated the Chemical Abstracts Service a National Historic Chemical Landmark in a ceremony at CAS headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, on June 14, 2007. The text of the commemorative plaque reads:

Founded in 1907 with the first publication of Chemical AbstractsTM, CAS has provided generations of scientists with unparalleled access to the most comprehensive collection of chemical information. The CAS Chemical RegistrySM, established in 1965, is the recognized global standard for chemical substance identification and the largest database of chemical substances in the world. CAS continues to pursue its mission to provide access to chemical and related information that speeds and enables scientific discovery to improve people's lives.

Also on June 14, 2007, the American Chemical Society presented a plaque to The Ohio State University for its support of CAS, which was located on the OSU campus for many years. The text of the plaque presented to OSU reads:

From 1909 to 1965, The Ohio State University provided the American Chemical Society a range of support services and facilities that allowed the nascent Chemical AbstractsTM publication to grow into the world's most important resource for chemistry-related research. CAS moved to its own campus in 1965, adjacent to The Ohio State University, and cherishes the memory of that half century of generous and farsighted support.
